French term

tuilage

French to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
This term occurs in a SOP on the propagation of virus in cell cultures. The sentence in which it appears is:

Le tuilage des lots nécessite de réaliser un vide de chaîne partiel ainsi qu’un nettoyage de niveau I au désinfectant stérile entre les opérations avec du virus et les opérations de culture cellulaire

None of the definitions of tuilage I have found (tiling, curling, deformation, a singing technique!) bear any relevance to this particular context!

Proposed translations

Selected

overlapping

Overlapping was previously proposed as a translation for "tuilage" in a different context on ProZ, but I think it could apply here also...

My (biologist's) interpretation of your posted sentence is that when working on two different lots of Product X on the same day / work shift, then appropriate measures (cleaning, etc.) must be taken to ensure that there is no cross-contamination between lots.
Note from asker:
Yes, thank you. I'm selecting your answer because it expresses the concept that I decided was what the term meant. I phrased the translation in a different way, so did not need a verb-noun such as "overlapping", but you have been spot on in summarising the situation.

You parallel test different lots to ensure that they perform similarly.

This does not explain the rest of the sentence from the original.

Yes, exactly.
Note from asker:
Ahh, it could be! Stacking as in making a number of consecutive production runs, with cleaning required in between them.... ?

Hi, these are just references. I am not so sure, hence my posting several references here.
